/**
* Spinner Helper class that works around some common issues
* with the stock Android Spinner
*
* A Spinner will normally call it's OnItemSelectedListener
* when you use setSelection(...) in your initialization code.
* This is usually unwanted behavior, and a common work-around
* is to use spinner.post(...) with a Runnable to assign the
* OnItemSelectedListener after layout.
*
* If you do not call setSelection(...) manually, the callback
* may be called with the first item in the adapter you have
* set. The common work-around for that is to count callbacks.
*
* While these workarounds usually *seem* to work, the callback
* may still be called repeatedly for other reasons while the
* selection hasn't actually changed. This will happen for
* example, if the user has accessibility options enabled -
* which is more common than you might think as several apps
* use this for different purposes, like detecting which
* notifications are active.
*
* Ideally, your OnItemSelectedListener callback should be
* coded defensively so that no problem would occur even
* if the callback was called repeatedly with the same values
* without any user interaction, so no workarounds are needed.
*
* This class does that for you. It keeps track of the values
* you have set with the setSelection(...) methods, and
* proxies the OnItemSelectedListener callback so your callback
* only gets called if the selected item's position differs
* from the one you have set by code, or the first item if you
* did not set it.
*
* This also means that if the user actually clicks the item
* that was previously selected by code (or the first item
* if you didn't set a selection by code), the callback will
* not fire.
*
* To implement, replace current occurrences of:
*
* Spinner spinner =
* (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.xxx);
*
* with:
*
* SpinnerHelper spinner =
* new SpinnerHelper(findViewById(R.id.xxx))
*
* SpinnerHelper proxies the (my) most used calls to Spinner
* but not all of them. Should a method not be available, use:
*
* spinner.getSpinner().someMethod(...)
*
* Or just add the proxy method yourself :)
*
* (Quickly) Tested on devices from 2.3.6 through 4.2.2
